Xashxur

Xashxur (VFTS 682) is a type WR star in the Bacterian Home Galaxy. It located in an active star-forming region, at a projected distance of approximately 30 pc northeast of the massive cluster R136 in the Tarantula Nebula. It is one of the most massive stars known.

The existence of this evolved star implies that it was previously more massive and thus more massive than the expected theoretical limits.
